Projects

Hurricane Sandy of 2012 destroyed approximately 2400 linear feet of bulkhead. The 2013 NYAC meeting approved a United States Small Business disaster relief mortgage at 3%. We are currently pursuing and finalizing different stages of this project and hope to start repair in the winter/spring of 2014. Quinipet from the water will look a bit different after the work is underway and completed. A 15 ft. wide swath of trees will need to be removed from the shoreline in order to gain access by equipment. The shaded beach will be - not so shaded! We hope to arrange plantings and a walking trail along the top of the new bulkhead structure which will enhance and reclaim some of its beauty. Keep in mind, however, our landscape will look different from before... the storm left us no option.

Step One: Approval from US Small Business Association for Disaster Relief Mortgage Funding.

Step Two: Again Access and Permits from NYS DEC and the Town of Shelter Island

Step Three: Hire a general Contractor to advise us through the process of construction
